Why Obama?
Written by ekg on October 28, 2008 – 8:03 pm -Because he knows that we are all Americans and it doesn’t matter if we live in small towns or big cities…”We All Love This Country”
You can either search congress for the ‘anti-americans’.Travel only in the ‘real’ America while dividing yourself from the rest of America..You can keep throwing every attack you can find, whether that be visiting his dying grandmother on a campaign plane, or because he said in down times people hold on to their religion.
Or, you can unite and believe “in the future we can build together..”
Why Obama?
…if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city it can change a state, and if it can change a state it can change a nation, and if it can change the nation it can change the world...
If you can listen to end of that and not feel hope. Not feel inspiration, not feel that “Yes, we can…” Yes, we can be better, we can do better, we can do anything if we stand together…. then Vote for McCain because there is nothing more I or anyone else can do to help you decide.
If you would rather listen to the same old attacks that lost McCain the Republican nomination in 2000? Tune into Fox news or watch any McCain ad, because he has hired the same attack dogs that George Bush used against him.
But if you want change, If you want unity, if you want an end to the last 8 years of division. Vote Obama.
Why Obama?
Sure, it’s easy to be cynical and say it can’t be done… One voice can’t do anything. One man can’t change anything. Why should we hope for anything?
There has never been anything false about hope…. When we have faced down impossible odds, we we’ve been told we’re not ready or we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t.. Generations of Americans have responded……. Yes we can!
Why Obama?
Because… with him we can be the America that is prosperous, caring, respected, feared and envied.
Don’t roll your eyes… Yes, we can.

Lying to bend the truth..
Written by ekg on September 5, 2008 – 8:50 am -Sara Palin? Why is she lying?
What’s your religion?
Christian.
Any particular…?
No. Bible-believing Christian.
What church do you attend?
A non-denominational Bible church. I was baptized Catholic as a newborn and then my family started going to non-denominational churches throughout our life.
Does she subscribe to the Bush theory you can say whatever you want and no matter how many cameras record you saying or doing the opposite, no one will care or question you?
Why do we allow this from our leaders.
Today, I brought up all the lies from Palin’s speech and someone replied “Well, they all lie”… And What!?! That makes it ok?
Palin was baptized as a teenager in Alaska at the Wasilla Assembly of God, which she and her family attended until 2002.
“The fact is she has grown up and has associated with one of our Assemblies of God churches, which is a Pentecostal church, for years,” said the Rev. Bill Welch, superintendent of the denomination’s Alaska District. “Pentecostalism is bound to have some kind of impact and influence on her.”
This is not made up, make believe, fairy tales. Just like the AIP membership there are records,witnesses and videos of her support and of her speaking at the church.
Why is she lying and why are we letting her? There are videos of her own words, videos** of active members applauding her as a member. Why are we letting her lie?
The Rev. Ed Kalnins, senior pastor at Wasilla Assembly of God since 1999, once questioned in a sermon whether people who voted for Democratic Sen. John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election would get into heaven.
Unlike most other Christians — including most evangelicals — Pentecostals believe in “baptism in the Holy Spirit.” That can manifest itself through speaking in tongues, modern-day prophesy and faith healing.
Is this why she is lying? Is she ashamed of her church and their practices ? Obviously she is not ashamed of her pastor
Her pastor for most of her time at Wasilla Assembly of God, Paul Riley, said he gave the invocation at Palin’s inauguration. As governor, she renamed the church’s street “Riley Avenue” for him
Look, if she wants to disassociate herself from the Assembly of God, OK. We still have our choice of religion in this country but, don’t lie about it damnit. Don’t tell us that you have been going to “non-denominational churches throughout our life.” It makes you like you are trying to hide something.
But maybe that’s the goal.
Really? Pray for it because it is God’s will?
The war in Iraq is God’s plan?
When did God tell you this? Does he speak to you like he speaks to George Bush?
Come on! This is not fair! Why does God only speak to the Republicans?
“I told Congress, thanks but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere ,” Palin told the cheering McCain crowd, referring to Ketchikan’s Gravina Island bridge in Alaska.
The truth is, she wasn’t even in office to be able to congress ‘no thanks’ and besides that…she supported it and when she got into office, kept the money congress gave Alaska to build it!
But Palin was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it.
The Alaska governor campaigned in 2006 on a build-the-bridge platform, telling Ketchikan residents she felt their pain when politicians called them “nowhere.
No thanks indeed.
Ironically enough, McCain used the bridge as he example of ‘pork-spending’
While running for governor in 2006, though, Palin backed federal funding for the infamous bridge, which McCain helped make a symbol of pork barrel excess.
not only that, but after the Minnesota bridge collapsed, McCain said
“Maybe the 200,000 people who cross that bridge every day would have been safer than spending $233 million of your tax dollars on a bridge in Alaska to an island with 50 people on it.”
Why are we letting her lie?
“I can do my part in working really, really hard to get a natural gas pipeline, about a $30 billion project that’s going to create a lot of jobs for Alaska. … [but] I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,” she said. “I can do my job there in developing our natural resources, in doing things like getting the roads paved and making sure our troopers have their cop cars and their uniforms and their guns, and making sure our public schools are funded. But really that stuff doesn’t do any good if the people of Alaska’s hearts aren’t right with God.”
Why is God a part of her energy policy? If Alaskans hearts aren’t right with God, then he won’t help the energy crisis? What?
I love God, but I love God my way. My God doesn’t say that if my heart isn’t right, then my Florida Power and light bill will be too high.
Why is God part of her foreign policy?
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”
Yes! Pray for our soldiers that McCain wants to leave in a war for the next 100 years. Pray for them that they will be safe. But pray for our leaders and that they are following God’s plan? Pray that our leaders are sending our soldiers out to war on a task from God?
Is it time for another crusade already?
Come on people, I know she’s a pitbull with lipstick but she’s also a liar.. And she’s the worst kind of liar. She uses her God when it benefits her, throws him away when it doesn’t and then evokes his name to sell her idea of war and energy.
People? Do you need the Republicans to win so bad that you will just say “so what?“ to this? Are you that partisan? Are you that faithful? Are you that hypocritical? What are you doing? What are you doing?
PUMA? You love this woman? This is who you choose to get into office if you can’t have Hillary? A woman so anti-Hillary that it’s almost like God planned it that way. Are you not ashamed? How can you say “I’m a Clinton supporter and Palin is my girl” Do you think Hillary would slap you on the back and agree with you? I too was a Hillary supporter, I too believe she is still the best candidate for the job, but she is not in the running anymore and I have to deal with that grief. But I will not vote for the ‘anti-Clinton’ candidate as part of that process because to me it was never about the vagina. To me it was about the person and who could do the better job. Yes I know it was stolen from her, you only have to read my past blogs to see that I totally agree with you on that front. But I was never in it just because of the vagina and anyone of you that are supporting Palin, just admit that that’s all you cared about to begin with. It had nothing to do with Clinton, it had to do with electing a woman and any woman would do. Admit the truth and stop lying to yourselves because you can’t sit there and be for both of them when they are polar opposites of each other.
Then again, Palin has pretty much come on the scene with nothing but lies…so maybe you guys have found your kindred spirit.
————————————————————————————-
** two days ago I linked a video of an AIP meeting where the Vice Chair spoke of Sara Palin and of her membership to the AIP. In it he said
“Our current governor, we mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected. There’s a joke, she’s a pretty good looking gal, there’s a joke goes around we’re the coldest state with the hottest governor. And there was a lot of talk about her moving up. [b]She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town — that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along — she eventually joined the Republican Party,[/b] [b]where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics, and well, I won’t go into that. She also had about an 80% approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership
Interestingly enough….. that video has since been removed from Youtube. What is she hiding, why is she lying and why for the love of God, are we letting her?
*********UPDATE*********
This comes from the Huffington Post…and is probably one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen…

The Hills have ayes…
Written by ekg on July 17, 2008 – 4:37 pm -Rumors have been swirling that Obama,Dean and Pelosi are trying to negotiate Hillary’s name off of the ballot at the Convention next month. It seems they don’t mind her being on the ballot as long as it’s as a symbolic, roll-call gesture . They want her name on the ballot, they just don’t want placed on the ballot for nomination.
Neither Obama nor Hillary won enough votes to secure the nomination. Obama may have 390 more of them if all the super delegates who pledged to him actually vote for him at the convention. But with his shine getting a little a duller and with 18 million voters voting for Hillary, having her name as a nominee on the ballot and having to listen to all her delegate vote for her would make his ass pucker. All it would take is for her to have prime placement in the speeches and just knock it out of the park. The amount of delegates she has and the problems with his incessant flip-flopping could remind the delegates that she really does have a damn good chance of beating McCain. If she, or Bill were to remind them that her poll numbers against McCain were better than the 46% he and Obama share now…. Who knows what could happen and that’s why he needs to get her of the nominating ballot.
So what can he do about that? Well he can use his political influence to make sure that she is taken off the ballot as a nominee and placed there just as his symbolic 2nd. He’s done this before. Obama only likes to win when he’s uncontested. When Alice Palmer, the former state senator who picked Obama to be her successor back in the mid-90s wanted back on the ticket, he had her kicked off. The problem with Hillary is that there is no legal reason to have her bumped off the ballot. More than that though, if her voters aren’t allowed to vote for her then it’s game on and party unity my ass.
It would be quite embarrassing to Obama if there was a open-air-stadium-like response to Hillary getting on stage and giving a blow-out speech.. This is his shining moment and Hillary can’t be allowed to outshine him once again. But at the same time, Obama wants to project a ‘party-unity’ that just isn’t there. In order to keep that faux-appearance, Hillary just can’t be on the ballot and steal the sunshine from his over-whelming, ever engorging ego. It would ruin his grand plan to take over the world.
Don’t think he has a plan?
Ha-ha Ha-ha Ha-ha
He’s going to give his outdoor stadium speech on the 45th anniversary of MLK “I have a dream” speech while being the 1st nominee to give an outdoor speech since JFK did it in 1960. Yeah, someone is a little full of himself huh?
Here’s the thing. I don’t really give a rat’s ass if it’s embarrassing to Barack Obama. His people screamed like little bitches that Michigan shouldn’t count because he wasn’t on the ballot when they are the ones who took him off. So could you imagine the screaming and race-crying if there was a plan in the mix to get him placed on the ballot as a token 2nd choice? I think Motley Crue, The beatles and Charles Manson had a prediction for that scenario called “Helter Skelter”
This Manson predicted scenario is really just one wrong move from happening as it is. If the press caves, if Obama misteps in such a way that it just can’t be ingored we might have to call Charlie “profit” instead of whack-o-nut. But it would take alot to make the press go against the messiah I mean have you read a story on Obama? The other day there was a story that comics can’t even make fun of him, in that story the writer says
“But there has been little humor about Obama: about his age, his speaking ability, his intelligence, his family, his physique”
Is he Adonis or something? Maybe he’s Jesus? Or maybe he’s the reincarnation of Budda himself .
Jon Stewart tried to make fun of him, but met resistance from the audience. He had to tell them “You know, you’re allowed to laugh at him.”
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm ….Did Jim Jones’ followers ever laugh at him?
Every week I decide I am going to have to swallow my hatred and get on the ball and get the bad stuff out about McCain. Because there really is a lot of stuff out there….. I mean look at this response to a question about his surrogate saying that some health insurance will pay for viagra and not birth control and women would like to have the choice (response at about 5:00).
Could you imaging him being asked a really important question? HA!
Anyway, every week I want to change. I hope that I can finally sit down and do something positive about Barack or if not positive then something about McCain. But every week Barack tweaks my ire with something else and I completely forget about the crazy old man that might just be our next president and I shouldn’t.
This man is just as dangerous and the other one.
How in the hell did we get these 2 “unelectables in a sane year” as our only 2 choices?
Three words
George W Bush.
Yes, that’s right. What kind of liberal rant would this be without putting some kind of blame on Bush? But it’s true. The DNC figured that no matter what and no matter who, they had this election in the bag. The republicans could clone Ronald Reagan and it wouldn’t matter. George Bush fucked this country up so bad and didn’t give one shit about it that anyone running as a (D) would win.
Look say what would want, but even McCain knows this and is doing everything in his power to avoid being linked to Bush.
So the DNC is all it’s wisdom gave us…. No forced upon us.. A liberals wet-dream. No the wet-dream isn’t a woman… No-no… the true liberal wet dream is a good looking black man. Harold Ford jr would have been my choice, but his skeletons have already been vetted out so a no name senator would have do. Hopefully he could get the nomination and election before they were weeded out by the press. But if not, what to do?
Then, a “Karl Rove like” idea was formed.
Anytime anyone dissed this candidate, scream racism.( Which as you know is the liberal kryptonite.) Scream it at every charge and eventually no one will make any more charges and if the do they can be put off as people who just don’t like blacks.
Howard Dean may not have known about Obama deciding to do the open-air stadium rapture until he saw it on the news, but he damn sure knows his liberals.
The problem is liberals don’t just sit silent and fall in with the party-line because the party wants them to. But to silence them forever Dean and his subordinates can only do one more thing to ensure the nomination goes to the exalted one. Get Hillary off the ballot at the convention.
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I hope The Denver Group accomplishes it’s goal. Because Hillary may be an old school politician, but she is still better and saner than anyone else out there. The question is though, are more and more people with the power to do something about it paying attention?

it’s hard to hold a candle…In the cold November rain
Written by ekg on July 1, 2008 – 3:08 pm -Everyday I hear more and more people moan about the Democrat’s choice we are forced to swallow. When the primaries started I was amazed at how many people actually cared. There was an electricity in the air, like just before a thunderstorm. That metallic smell was all around, people were hungry for a change and they couldn’t wait to get the ball rolling.
I witnessed 2 camps. One camp was strong and confidante for the future. The dollar was going down, gas was going up. The war was costing billions and people were starved for change. They knew it was a full-blown fact that a democrat would be elected and while that person might not fix all the problems that he or she was left to fix, they would better than what we’ve had for the last 8 years. They were happy and content that the stronger, better candidate would win.
The other camp had the pep and zip of a 12 year old boy. They got out there and worked. They rallied around their man, they weren’t content to sit there and just let it all happen. No they wanted to make a grand statement, they wanted pop and flare.
It kinda reminded me of the Tortoise and the Hare fable. I think everyone expected the hare to peter out while the tortoise moseyed over the finish line. There was no way the hare would actually go the distance. It just couldn’t happen this time because there was too much at stake, too much to gain and even more to lose.
They were wrong. The hare didn’t peter out. In fact he brilliantly beat the tortoise at her own game and then stole her shell and shit in it.
Months later, with the convention and official ‘crowning’ coming up. I am seeing and hearing more and more people get more and more disgusted with the whole thing. The electricity is gone, the metallic thunderstorm smell has abated and people are looking around asking what the hell happened.
These people never expected Obama to really get this far. Sure, he’d make a big splash but eventually he’d be vetted out of the race. His past history, associates and lack of experience would overcome him and he could walk way silently.
Everyone expected ‘race’ to become involved in the ‘hunt for the white house’. It was to be expected just like sexism was to be expected against Hillary. What people didn’t expect was that race would be played against everyone by the black candidate and the sexism would overshadow any and everything else that was left.
I’ve talked to so many people, white and black from a pediatric anesthesiologist to a house cleaner, from ‘red neck to city-slicker’ and all of them say the same thing. “what can we do now?”
Again I am reminded of a tortoise, these people are like a tortoise without it’s shell. They don’t know what to do come November. They have never considered voting republican but are finding excuses to justify a vote for McCain. They look at how he was 8 years ago, when he was a more himself and less George Bush, when he stuck to what he believed and not the just party line. And they are saying “well, maybe he’ll be like that in the White House, right now he just has to pander to the Right in order to get elected” These people will not under any circumstance vote for Obama.
I have actually tried to play devil’s advocate and say “well, the next president will put 2 justices on the supreme court, If McCain gets the chance women’s rights will go back 50 years”
The reply “Roe v Wade will never be repealed. It’s been the law of the land for so long that it’s safe no matter who is on the court”
I say, “McCains party is all for limiting the pharmaceutical companies liability when they market a drug and it makes you grow a third nipple on your nose’”
The reply “I think the FDA is stronger than that”
I say “Bush changed the clean water act by ‘ Allowing masses of industrial wastes to be dumped in streams, lakes, rivers, and wetlands’….do you think mini-me-McCain would go against this?
The reply again, “well, that’s alway been happening and will keep happening no matter who is in office”
Mind you, I detest Barrack. I do not trust him. I think there is so much hidden dirt on him that when it comes out we will all beg for 4 years of Dick Cheney, but I want to make sure these people know what they are saying when they try and justify McCain.
I cannot convince them to vote for Barrack. Nothing I say makes a dent. They are as adamant as I am about him.
How did this happen?
He is supposed to the one who brings us ‘unity’ and instead he is the one dividing the democratic party. Those who never thought he had a chance feel so shut out that they are willing to vote the other side. That’s not bringing us all together and singing kumbaya around the campfire… that’s Hatfield and McCoy shit right there.
We all watched as nightly Hillary was attacked for her cleavage, her tears and how her voice reminded men of their nagging wives. We all watched as anything negative or even questioning was said about Barrack was turned into “that’s racially offensive”. We all watched in amazement as his own supporters couldn’t give a single one of his accomplishments. No matter how you look at that, it’s a problem. When you ask someone ‘what qualifies you for the job of President of the United States” and the only answer that is given is “I am inspirational” it becomes a joke. When that person goes on to take the party nomination, it becomes divisive.
We are all used to having to vote for the lesser of the two evils. We’ve all said “well he’s not my 1st pick, but I’ll take him” So what is the difference now?
I think that while Obama’s people were trying to make sure “race” was never brought up they went too far and saw ‘race’ in everything and that pissed a lot of people off. These people have never been anything but neutral to positive when it comes to gender, sex or race. They are liberals for God’s sake. They embraced the gays, the blacks, the Hispanics, the poor and the sick. But all of a sudden they were made to feel like David Duke because Barrack wasn’t their 1st, 2nd, or even 11th choice. They were made to feel like they were holding the whips and beating the slaves when they questioned “He sat in the church for how many years?” “His “white” what?” ..”a fairy tale is racist now? Huh?”… “RFK means she’s sending code to Jason Bourne?”… And all of a sudden they got sick of it. So sick that they will sell their rights and their values because they will not vote for Barrack.
So much for unity.
This divide was once blamed on Hillary because she dared to stay in the race, but now that she’s out of it… it‘s still festering and even growing. So who really was to blame?
When asked “I don’t know what I’m going to do come Novemeber”…. how do you answer? Because I’m at a loss…

Until they become conscious they will never rebel….
Written by ekg on April 6, 2008 – 9:00 am -Ok… so… I wonder if there was anything of interest in the news this week
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon Tuesday made public a now-defunct legal memo that approved the use of harsh interrogation techniques against terror suspects, saying President Bush’s wartime authority trumps any international ban on torture.
John Yoo’s memo was rescinded nine months later by his Justice Department successor.
The Justice Department memo, dated March 14, 2003, outlines legal justification for military interrogators to use harsh tactics against al Qaeda and Taliban detainees overseas — so long as they did not specifically intend to torture their captives.
Even so, the memo noted, the president’s wartime power as commander in chief would not be limited by the U.N. treaties against torture.
“Our previous opinions make clear that customary international law is not federal law and that the president is free to override it at his discretion,” said the memo written by John Yoo, who was then deputy assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel.
……
“The whole point of the memo is obviously to nullify every possible legal restraint on the president’s wartime authority,” Jaffer said. “The memo was meant to allow torture, and that’s exactly what it did.”
The 81-page legal analysis largely centers on whether interrogators can be held responsible for torture if torture is not the intent of the questioning. And it defines torture as the intended sum of a variety of acts, which could include acid scalding, severe mental pain and suffering, threat of imminent death and physical pain resulting in impaired body functions, organ failure or death.
The “definition of torture must be read as a sum of these component parts,” the memo said.
The memo also includes past legal defenses of interrogations that Yoo wrote are not considered torture, such as sleep depravation, hooding detainees and “frog crouching,” which forces prisoners to crouch while standing on the tips of their toes.
“This standard permits some physical contact,” the memo said. “Employing a shove or slap as part of an interrogation would not run afoul of this standard.”
The memo concludes that foreign enemy combatants held overseas do not have defendants’ rights or protections from cruel and unusual punishment that U.S. citizens have under the Constitution. It also says that Congress “cannot interfere with the president’s exercise of his authority as commander in chief to control the conduct of operations during a war.”
I’m going to let that last part sit there for a minute.
Before I go on, I really have to ‘tourette’ for a second….power hungry, Ego-fucking-tistical, Should be thrown in jail and have to learn the law , worst President of all time and more dangerous to the United States than an outbreak of the plague, asshole…
I am so disgusted by the ”’I don’t have to follow laws b/c I’m President Bush” motto that this administration has adopted. But at the same time it is interesting to see first hand the falling of Rome. I am a history nut so it’s an honor to be able to view as it’s happening the end of a great civilization where Presidents had to follow laws and if they didn’t Congress would step in and in they didn’t the public would outcry and if they didn’t the print news would dig in and expose something….well, that kind of stuff is what fairy-tales are made of.
I have a question and I really hope to get a well thought out answer.
If our President can claim that he doesn’t have to follow international law… And have his lawyer prove the one-sided argument by saying international law is not federal and therefore the President of the United States is not subject to following them…….. then why in the FUCK did we go to war b/c Saddam was breaking international laws?
What kind of simple minded, ego-thumping, death-star-dark-lord did you fucking people elect…..not once, but twice?
what the fuck is wrong with you? I can’t blame him for being what he is… but I can goddamn well blame you for letting him get away with it.
Yes, YOU…. the ones who stood by and watched and/or cheered. The Media whores who said nothing, the pundits who explained how he was right and good and out for our protection….. or just simply “This is War-War-War”
How could you stand by and cheer while he invaded, captured and killed a president of sovereign country with the excuse of “He’s dangerous to the Iraqi’s and he’s breaking international laws and resolutions.” and then turn around and say “Republican-good…President Bush-good…he no break law because he no have to follow them”… Didn’t Saddam have just as much right to say International Law and US Federal Law is not Iraqi law so it does not apply to me”
You douche bags can’t have it both ways……….. But you will. You will because you are the types that can’t be wrong. You can’t come back 7 years later and say “Oh dear god was I drunk or just stupid, dude really…my bad”
By the way, you allowed your president to murder another president… I just thought you should know.
Remember the last part of that article I quoted above, the part that I let sit there. Do you remember what it said?
“..The memo concludes …that Congress “cannot interfere with the president’s exercise of his authority as commander in chief …during a war”
You let him decide that not even Congress can stop him if he wants it.
What have you done?
Centers Tap Into Personal Databases
Intelligence centers run by states across the country have access to personal information about millions of Americans, including unlisted cellphone numbers, insurance claims, driver’s license photographs and credit reports, according to a document obtained by The Washington Post.
One center also has access to top-secret data systems at the CIA, the document shows, though it’s not clear what information those systems contain
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/01/AR2008040103049_pf.html
You’ve given him ‘above the law’ status.
You’ve given him mine and your entire personal information
You’ve given him all the rights and have let him take all of mine and yours.
Military skirting law to spy
The military is using the FBI to skirt legal restrictions on domestic surveillance to obtain private records of Americans’ Internet service providers, financial institutions and telephone companies, the ACLU said Tuesday.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080402/ap_on_re_us/national_security_letters
You’ve allowed the military to investigate it’s own civilians on it’s own soil.
Memo Justified Warrantless Surveillance
For at least 16 months after the Sept. 11 terror attacks in 2001, the Bush administration believed that the Constitution’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures on U.S. soil didn’t apply to its efforts to protect against terrorism.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080402/D8VQ1NG80.html
In some cases you’ve stood by and cheered because you are a republican and he is a republican and really, it’s not like were are really losing anything… Plus, we haven’t been attacked again have we?
In other cases you watched and kept silent for fear of being labeled unpatriotic for thinking the President is wrong. Because we all know that if anyone is infallible it’s the President because they screen for that kind of thing before letting him take the oath.
You’ve attacked the others who have tried to show you the dangers you are allowing. You’ve called them ‘crazies’ and ‘conspiracists‘. You made them out to be a members of the “Fox Mulder Club” and belittled them at every corner.
Shame on you. Bush may have wanted to turn the United States into something that resembles Saudi Arabia or Cuba, but he couldn’t have done it without You.
Was it worth it you son of a bitches?
Do you feel safer?
Do you even care?
